Evaluation of representative bird species Landscape Capability models

Duration

January 2015 - August 2018

Narrative

The Designing Sustainable Landscapes (DSL) project at the University of Massachusetts has developed models to predict the landscape's capability to support a variety of forest bird species. We are verifying and validating models for a selection of these species to determine their predictability of space use by these species in the northeastern US.
